The sample I tasted of this wine was a little cloudy, but it`s still a triumph in 2014, right up there with some of the best whites of the vintage. Thiols, lees, smokiness, a hint of coconut and some grapefruit pith combine beautifully on the palate here. Complex, age-worthy stuff. 94 points

The Château Latour-Martillac Blanc 2014 has voluminous nose. tinned pineapple intermingling with white peach and citrus aromas, but perhaps missing the killer delineation of its peers at this point. The palate is well balanced with a dab of sour lemon on the entry. It gently builds in the mouth, mustering more and more precision until the finish that delivers lemongrass mixed with orange zest notes. This will be fascinating to revisit after bottling. It does not quite know what it wants to do at the moment hence my conservative score, however it may evolve into a very fine white Pessac-Léognan that will exceed my score. 90-92+ points
